Meditation with Swamiji from Raumati
Awareness is cultivated through simple, deliberate physical movements.
Begin by slowly moving the hands, closing and opening the fists. Then, open the palms fully. Stretch upward, expanding the fingers wide, and bring the palms together overhead. Conclude by gently massaging the eyelids before opening the eyes. This sequence directs attention to the body's sensations, anchoring the mind in the present moment. It is a practice of mindful action, not of thought. Each gesture is performed with full attention, creating a bridge between physical form and conscious awareness. The practice ends with a return to sight, symbolizing a clarified perception.
"Slowly move your hands and close your fists."
"Gently massage your eyelids and open your eyes."
